IRC password lost sometimes

[astifter]

I have not managed to reproduce this but:

I'm using freenode IRC with my <username>:<password> combination in the password field of the Empathy account for identifying against the nickserv.

And sometimes, for no reason recogisable, the password does not work anymore to identify against nickserv. After setting the password again it works for some time but breaks after a while.

What can I do to reproduce/debug this?

'lsb_release -rd'

The error I get is the message from nickserv telling me that the identification was not successful.

I will try to get logs when it happens next time.

Okay, I have the logs now, and also the nickserv messages:

First, before password is lost:
NickServ 04/02/12 14:15:32
This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
You are now identified for astifter.
04/02/12 14:15:33

Second, after loosing the password:
NickServ 14:21:48
This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
Invalid password for astifter.
14:21:48

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

can you open password and keys by searching it in the dash and see how many passwords are save there for your irc account or is there any password for that or not ?

[astifter (astifter)]

Yes, will do that later today. But I haven't had the problem for a while now, seems to be not an issue anymore...

[astifter (astifter)]

I looked into that and found nothing out of the ordinary, all passwords were saved, no more no less.
